Does that surprise you? After losing out on DaisukeMatsuzaka to their rivals the Red Sox, the Yankees needed to make a splash. I do not know how big a splash this is considering his record in Japan was only 14-9. Yes he did have a 2.97 ERA and has been able to rack up innings the past six years in Japan, but, he is a number five starter, not even 15 million is worth it for a number 5 starter. The two main reasons the Yankees posted so high for Igawa is one: They needed to nearly match the Red Sox, and two: they need a pitcher. Other teams that were interest were: Padres, Mets, Cubs, Rangers, Dodgers, Mariners, and Indians.

okay thanks, I guess it doesn't matter but I read on their webs8ite that they more then likely would be one of the bidders. I have a feeling next week will be very interesting in the winter meetings in all of baseball.

I am really not sure about center field. ill get back to you when I find out more. I just think he will would make sense. I also think jones will be unloaded for prospects, maybe so depth in the bench.
